Hello everybody,

Sorry to post this twice, but I have a Speed Graphic part #2773 that belongs with someone who owns and uses a Speed Graphic camera. Please feel free to email me with questions or advice on how I can separate the men from the dorks, if you get my drift. Thanks!

The nice thing is that this flash, called a Graflite wasn't used in SW and SW people look down on other SW people that use these for their props.

It's also a much better flash to use than the now expensive version.

Actually, I have been doing some reading on the flashes and the Graflite was used in a SW show as a sword.

The "holiday" special.. Also was used on one of the ships..

I will look to see if I can find the site that showed where it was used.

The one I have is the one sought by the SW dorks. Believe it or not, I want to sell it cheap to someone who needs it for his or her Speed Graphic--instead of selling it for a few hundred bucks to some dork who's going to destroy it by making it into a stupid movie prop.

Not long ago, it was going for over a hundred on eBay before I killed the auction--all of the bidders were SW people. I'm not trying to be a jerk about this; I just want this item to go to the right person--someone who owns a Speed Graphic and needs the flash.

Last time I saw her alive, she was going to the Wash & Dry, now she's lying in a bottle of www.fandango.net
